> You’re right – this query of yours will do that: SELECT users.username , user\_custom\_fields.value FROM users JOIN user\_custom\_fields ON users.id = user\_custom\_fields.user\_id OR users.id = CAST( user\_custom\_fields.value AS int ) WHERE user\_custom\_fields.name LIKE 'shadow\_id' ORDER BY user\_custom\_fields.value There is no obvious way through the UI though.
